Patterned after college basketball’s March Madness 64-team bracket, the weather tournament began with 64 cities from around the United States, all claiming the country’s toughest weather conditions.

“Caribou could win this tournament because of the 110 inches of snow they receive annually. Or they could win because of the 41 days of subzero cold they receive every year,” according to a statement on The Weather Channel’s website. “Both make for rough winters, which could be enough to carry them through the Northeast region of our bracket and beyond.”

After trouncing Syracuse by a voting ratio of four to one to win the Northeast region, Caribou is looking like an all-out favorite to win this tournament, according to The Weather Channel and Tuesday faces off against Fairbanks in the East vs. West showdown.
